So I did the best thing ever and blocked up my keg by dry hopping pellets. Got a bit annoyed then racked my brain for something laying around with small micron filtering....and remembered we had an old single serve coffee plunger filter that wasnt being used anymore. Sterilised it cut a chunk...

Im sorted on Cascade now! Just got 30 a couple of days ago. Essentially all im after now is Super Alpha......I really want it!

Might contact bloody BICON again with that.....no response yet....

Yup. Still tyring to get to the bottom of this....maybe someone in NSW can contact what ever the agriculture department is called and ask?

Diseases and pests we dont have due to federal quarantine...... :D this is the issue we have none of the international diseases due to federal quarantine....unless HPA and hopswest know they have diseases....then this doesnt make a lot of sense to me. But I get that too since when does...

Exactly thats why we have 'border control' now.....or is that just for cocaine etc??? Sigh........

Reference at all besides being shouty and apparently scary? Pepper is a tree and tomatoes are an annual.....not sure why anyone would bother trying to import it from else where.......and besides both of those plants are not in the same family as hops and not in the same family as each...

Lol yeah Im probably not that good at brewing.......will be interesting to see what htey say!

So I emailed coopers support about this. They have sent me a reply paid address and want me to send them a couple of hte PETs since its a new product. They said essentially just send us some and we'll try work out whats up with it........hopefully they send me some beers back :D

Red Earth from Hopswest?

Mine fermented for 11 days@ 20 degrees and the FG was 1012....way higher than I would expect :(

Will take any red earth you have left mate!

So thats what happened to me.....I wanted to use the IPA yeast from the previous kit I used US05 on.....and that mustve been the bad yeast out of the first new batches :( im going to taste it today again but I recon it'll be going out.....3rd stuffed batch in 5 years....thanks coopers :(

IVe been brewing for 5 years....just started all grain......Im pretty sure its not the tiny bit of crystal ;)

So Im kegged now. I used the IPA yeast from a kit I bought 8 weeks ago from QLD was the new version IPA can on my bootmaker mix bought direct from Coopers. The bootmaker has this weird metallic yeasty taste to it......never had it in a beer before....its not oxidized....im letting it cold...

It was bairds medium crystal. It'll be getting force carbed and kegged in about a week or two. I have the IBU count saying its going to be about 90....hard to tell with wet hops though. I calculated that at 2% AA

So im pretty noob to all grain and i just ordered two batches of 1kg caramalt and 5kg of golden promise milled and mixed together. I have done the first one nice colour but people are saying its going to be really sweet......I upped the IBU since hops is something im not short on to try and...
